þ thorns þ proposes to think with the affordances of postdisciplinarity and the choreographic. This series seeks to set in motion the possibilities of the podcast as choreographic form, score and modality, as well as haptic space for glitch and grain. This series privileges prompts over topics, verbs over nouns, soft tissue over hard tech, and phenomena over “thing”. Importantly, these are open-ended conversation pieces, experimental dialogues, remote contact-improvisations and conceptual playgrounds, not interviews.
Guest speaker pairings are conceived out of radical associativity, where knowledges and non-knowledges, somatic practices and techniques of living are brought into experimental proximity, constellating themselves through intra-action along the way.
As part of the ongoing imagination of the School we are compiling a glossary of words that artists are using to refer to the choreographic. Every time we invite people to collaborate with us we also invite them to donate to the glossary, hosted on our website.

This episode is a conversation between Edgar Schmitz and Behzad Khosravi Noori. Edgar works on and through dispersed materialities of the choreographic, and distributed forms of (in-)animacy. He is the founder of the CHOREOGRAPHIC and ANIMATE ASSEMBLY research clusters and, director of the Art Research Programme at Goldsmiths, University of London. Behzad is an artist, writer, educator, playground builder, and necromancer. His research-based practice includes films and installations as well as archival studies. He is a professor in practice at Habib University in Karachi.
This conversation was recorded in a studio in central London. Edgar and Behzad reflect on their joint interest in the art of necromancy as a metaphorical and methodological tool to reinterpret history.
They discuss Behzad’s films on this topic and explore themes like the political distribution of the sensible, decolonisation, the incompleteness of history, and the labour involved in memorialising the past.
This series is produced and edited by Hester Cant.
The series is co-curated by Emma McCormick-Goodhart and Martin Hargreaves, with concept and direction by Martin Hargreaves and Izzy Galbraith.
